Ask HN: Feedback on an indie app idea for native desktop blogging?

This is a rather crowded space imo.

Why would I want to use this instead of Medium?

Are you handling all the domain management (purchase, routing, etc.)?

What would it cost?

As someone who writes a lot of code how-tos, there is room for improvement. In my mind that improvement is largely around formatting and displaying/running code in the users reading environment.

Just my two cents.

Hi I think Medium isn’t ideal because you’re one acquihire away from losing your writing, as what happened to me when posterous went away years ago. My plan is to simplify all the management you mention as much as possible. As for price, what would you be willing to pay? I’m thinking of pricing comparably to quality Wordpress hosting.
